Legally, no - only physicians are qualified to examine, diagnose and treat human disease and conditions. However, veterinarians are trained to recognize zoonotic diseases (diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans) and can tell the human owners what general symptoms to be looking out for and what to tell their doctors about if they have any problems.

No, they can't as no pharmacy would fulfill their scripts.

It depends what you are talking about. {What type of animal?}
